    Makes 12-14 servings

Ingredients

6 large tart green apples (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled, quartered, cored, thinly sliced
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons plus 3 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Place apples in large bowl. Add 1 cup sugar, cinnamon, 2 tablespoons flour and lemon juice and toss to blend well.

    Step 2

    Stir in 1 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl to blend. Whisk eggs, melted butter, 1/2 cup water and vanilla extract in small bowl to blend. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and stir until thick dough forms. Spread 1 3/4 cups dough over bottom of prepared pan. Top with apple mixture. Drop remaining dough by tablespoonfuls evenly over apple mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Cover pan tightly with foil.

    Step 3
